Jai Shri Mataji,
Jai Shri Mataji,
I
wanted to share my experience of Birthday Puja Celebrations at Chindwara. What
a holy place is Chindwara. There was a distinct auspicious feeling in the
entire place. The Birthplace of our Holy Mother, so beautifully adored and
decorated with tenderness and love was pouring divine vibrations on every
seeker. The mere sight of the Birthplace everytime we approached it, evoked awe
and humility. The spontaneous working on the subtle system could be experienced
even in the beautiful meditation hall near the Birthplace and prepared me for
the two day meditation program and the Puja.
The meditation conducted by
the ATYOURLOTUSFEETMOTHER team on both the days was an experience which cannot
be described in words. The depth of meditation and oneness with our Holy Mother
gave a deep and lasting silence and instilled a sense of joy like never before.
Whatever our brothers were praying could be felt on the subtle system and
experiencing such manifestation of the power of Divine meditation spontaneously
gave more and more gratitude to our Creator, who is the most Compassionate
Adishakti Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi.
No one could miss the great
effort, dedication and love gone in all arrangements in the huge 35 acres land
of Linga. Whether it is the well organised parking area, efficient and fast
catering or the neat and clean staying arrangements, it was all done in a
beautiful way and to the satisfaction of all. The unique facility of RO plant
providing free drinking water in sufficient quantity was a big comforting
factor in the scorching sun. The huge meditation area with a seating capacity
of thousands of Mothers children was an ideal place to be as it was also most
comfortable due to the cool breeze blowing all the time. Many Congratulations
to the entire organising team for such consolidated effort which is only
possible by a team working with love and in complete dedication towards our
Holy Mother.

After a long time it was our privilege to take the name of our Guru
sitting amongst so many of HER children and experience HER in our
hearts at the very Birthplace of SHRI MATAJI. Though the slot for
Meditation was just after lunch on a warm day on 19 Mar 13, it was as
fresh as morning with clouds drifting in to cool the weather as the
Workshop started. The effect of prayer and a mix of clips of HER
talks, bhajans, aalap and classical music got one into thoughtlessness
and surrender in no time. The Workshop continued next day, and when
it concluded many of the Yogis who had now tasted nectar (some for the
first time in many years) clamoured for more.
The arrangements made by the organisers (that one has not seen before)
touched our hearts,be it the way they arranged for cool RO water ,
food and stay arrangements and a volunteer Yogi positioned near the
toilets with labour to see that water does not run out or drain does
not get blocked and the genuine smile with which packed lunch was
served after the puja to departing Yogis. May SHRI MATAJI make every
collective event so touching.

JAI SHRI MATAJI,
This year's Mother's Birthday
celebrations at Chindwara was very special for me alongwith many others. On
reaching Chindwara it was a blessing to bow down at the Holiest of Holy shrine
and then on reaching our accomodation we were welcomed by a beautiful floral
fragrance. Also, what gave immense joy was to see so many hoardings displaying
beautiful pictures and quotes of Holy Mother in the entire city. We could feel
and see Mother everywhere in the city.
The 2 days meditation program by the
team before the Birthday puja was a very beautiful experience and its impact
can still be felt in our daily meditation. On the first day, very deep
cleansing was happening and by the end of it we were very light and fresh. On
the second day the connection with ShriMataji was much stronger and for the
first time I could be with Mother for long without any effort. I am really
grateful to Shri Mataji for granting us such a beautiful experience. What I
learnt from this meditation session was that when we remember with awe and
humility that Mother is the supreme Ishwara, the All Pervading and All Powerful
Primordial Mother then we are effortlessly taken into a deep silence and are
blessed with the sanidhya of Mother. In the meditation session at that time I
could not understand why we are not doing anything but just bowing down our
heads to Mother. For a long time we all were asked to bow down our heads and
Agnya to Shri Mataji again and again and do nothing else. But later I could
feel the impact of this when we were taken in that deep silence and were
enjoying the company of divine Mother. Thank you Shri Mataji. I need to go a
very long way as I still have to imbibe the joyous humility of bowing down my
head to thy greatness and love, Mother please bless us with the humility and
awe of sitting in front of your enlightened photograph.
Hope to have another
beautiful session of atyourlotusfeetmother in the next year's Birthday Puja.
Jai Shri Mataji

Dear
Yogis,
I
thank Shri Mataji for the golden opportunity of my life to sing at Her Shrine
and be part of atyourLotusFeetMother team during the seminar..
During the first day of the
seminar i was asked to sing this bajan "Thu hai Eswar" and
accordingly i sang the full song with little nervousness aware of the huge
crowd sitting behind...(more over it was the first song i which i rendered at
Her Lotus Feet).
On the second day of the
seminar i was asked to sing the same song in the beginning of the program...the
first thing that stuck me was that i have already sung this song and our brother
is asking to sing the same..As a musician this came into my mind...but never
mind because it was Mothers wish.. so sang two lines from the bajan with
devotion...
Much to my surprise after an
hour of meditation, our brother again requested to sing the same bajan, but
this time i understood that there is a very very important message that was
needed to be understood and cherished by every sahaja yogi. Before i could
start the bajan, our brother told "now pray to Sri Mataji that each and
every one sitting here should feel that our Mother is the sakshat Eshwar, she
is the Parameshwar and she is the Parama aanandha ma"...My
first reaction was , what should i do for that? ..I prayed Mother that each and
every word should fall at her Lotus feet like flowers..Mother Iam not
singing...u r the doer and u r the enjoyer ..so please sing this song and let
me also enjoy along with you...This was my prayer in my heart...Automatically
the rendition was little slow in tempo and was sung from heart, full of
bakthi..fully focused at her Feet...i normally never get satisfied easily
because attention would be on the sruthi and the rythm and the way it all
gels...but this was like i was not concious at all because I was drenched in
that essence of the bajan... I also got a feed back that my second time
rendition of the bajan was much better than the previous times!!!
Normally i used to feel that
in one of our brothers singing and always wanted to sing like that full
of bakthi straight from heart. It is very clear that singing should be very
spontaneous and completely surrendered so that the way it flows will be taken
charge by the divine. I thank all my brothers and sisters for giving such a
wonderful moment.
With Wishes
Sangeetha
